Muddy Water Lyrics

Artist: Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
Album: Kicking Against The Pricks

(J. Bundrick)

Mary, grab the baby, the river's risingMuddy water taking back the landThe old-frame house, she can't take-a one more beatingAin't no use to stay and make a stand

Well the morning light shows water in the valleyDaddy's grave just went below the lineThings to say, you just can't take em with yaThis flood will swallow all you've left behind

Won't be back to start all overCause what I felt before is gone

Mary, take the child, the river's risingMuddy water taking back my homeThe road is gone, there's just one way to leave hereTurn my back on what I've left belowShifting land, broken farms around meMuddy water's changing all I know

It's hard to say just what I'm losingAin't never felt so all alone

Mary, take the child, the river's risingMuddy water taking back my home

Won't be back to start all overCause what I felt before is gone

Mary, take the child, the river's risingMuddy water's changing all I knowMuddy water's changing all I knowLord, this muddy water is taking back my home
